The Comprachicos revisited (see What’s to Fear? The Comprachicos are here…arkansasfreedom.net) September 22, 2016
Briefly, Comprachicos (child buyers) were not unusual in the 17th century, i.e. those who purchased young children, ideally by the age of 3, in order to transform their bodies into freakish sideshow attractions & jesters, thereby providing the Comprachicos with fame & fortune.
Modern day Comprachicos, aka “Early Education” programmers (by age 3)c, switched from body deformers to mental manipulators, obviously to control thought processes, values and workforce automatons, as you shall see.
Simple equation at work:
Public education = F
F = Funding Follows Failures
If public school doing well academically = No increased Funding
If public school Failing = Increased Funding
Therefore; failure by design in order to receive more FUNDING!
How many program failures have been tried? From Progressive education of John Dewey (early to mid 1900’s), to Headstart, School to Work, Outcome-based education, Goals 2000, No Child Left Behind, Race to the Top, and now Common Core among the myriad of mind-bending experiments.
The new U.S. Secretary of Education John B. King, Jr. recently visited Little Rock, AR to promote Obama’s “new” Preschool for All initiative that would provide pre-K for ALL low-income & middleclass children. King stated “We also know it’s good for the local economy because we want a well-prepared WORKFORCE. Students who get quality early learning are more likely to succeed in post-secondary education, and they are going to be a stronger future WORKFORCE.”
A Big Fat Lie. Btw, whatever happened to the vaunted Headstart program? Nothing. it is still there after decades of colossal failure, according to only one source of many:
It’s Time to Stop Head Start
By Darcy Ann Olsen
This article appeared in the Human Events on September 1, 2000.
Excerpts: “In 1985 the Department of Health and Human Services undertook the first meta-analysis of Head Start research and shook the establishment with its dire findings: “In the long run, cognitive and socioemotional test scores of former Head Start students do not remain superior to those of disadvantaged children who did not attend Head Start.” “In other words, Head Start was a false start—the net gain to children was zero.” “Thirty-five years, $44 billion, and 17 million children have passed through the Head Start gates since 1965”. “To put all children on an equal footing would require genetic engineering, surrogate parents, and for many kids, home away from home.” “After 35 years without success, it’s time politicians reconsider the wisdom of Head Start. When they do, it will be time to let the program go.”
Face it folks, academics are out & social programing is in. Look around at the results…emotional automatons programed to view life from a Collective point of view…the group is everything, the individual is of little value (except when being taught unearned self-esteem, e.g. all answers are correct). Hence the rise of the “communities” (LGBTQ, Gay, Black, Latino) and the fall of rugged individualism. Dependency vs. Independence, emphasis on the “team”, de-emphasis on the person. After all, rugged individuals who rise according to their own efforts & talents are intimidating and unfair to the “disadvantaged”.
Most dictators & collectivist leaders have always known the value of “getting the child while very young” as have religious sects. Mold the mind to think in ways that are advantageous to the molders and goals are achieved much easier than trying to herd a bunch of individuals thinking for themselves who probably won’t agree or want to go along with the molders.
Notice the emphasis Secretary King places on the workforce…a dead giveaway to communistic/socialist/collectivist beliefs & goals…a compliant mass of willing workers to help achieve the goals, in this case of a One-World globalist agenda.
The equation is fulfilled—ignorant collectivist/global worker bees who generate Funding—death of individual freedom & rise of tyranny. The modern Comprachicos are highly successful—mental capacities & standards have been disfigured, deformed, & rendered incapable of logic…indeed of common sense.
Pity the young!
